I'm surprised no one has asked yet, what size (aperature) are those telescopes (threadstarter + 2nd person) ? What size do you need to take pics like that in other words? I got a telescope, 4 1/2 reflector I think, and all I could do with it was look at the moon briefly. Granted I never handled a telescope before so I had no clue on a lot of things, but it was supposed to be "go to" and it never went anywhere you wanted it to!
I looked at Saturn in it and all I could see is what I can see with my 8 x 40 binoc's, a bright yellow-orange "star", maybe with the faintest trace of rings. I was expecting a lot more, and couldn't get it into focus with the larger eyepieces. I don't know if it was defective or me, but they took it back. Once I have more money, I would like to get a better scope so any ideas would be helpful. thanks
peace
